A sanitation inspection was conducted on March 30, 2026, with two (2) demerits and a superior classification. A fire inspection was conducted on September 15, 2025. There has been two new staff members hired since the last visit. I monitored their files. Criminal Background Checks, CPR / First Aid, and special training were monitored in all staff files. Your signature on all forms served and will serve as verification that the information provided was accurate and complete. Rated License Discussion – I received the “Application for Assessment for a Rated License for Centers” on February 24, 2026. This program has chosen Accreditation and Head Start (Pathway 3). The following have been reviewed for Accreditation and Head Start (Pathway 3) 1) I received the Request to Use Accreditation and Head Start Licensure Pathway to Earn a Star Rated License document on February 24, 2026. This facility is a head start designation. I received the Head Start Verification for Wiley Lash Head Start Center and verified the head start designation on February 26, 2026. 2) I received the Classroom Staff to Child Ratio for Head Start documents on February 24, 2026. It was documented that the facility will meet Head Start staff / child ratios. I verified during today’s visit that the facility is following the staff/child ratios as listed. This facility is eligible for a five-star license using the accreditation and head start licensure pathway. Star Rated License Child Care programs are expected to achieve and maintain an eighteen-month compliance history score of at least seventy-five percent at all times [NC GS 110-90(4)(d)]. After today's visit the facility's compliance history is at 96% I reviewed the Quality Initiatives Recognition Form with you today. Quality initiatives are optional recognitions that may accompany the issuance of a two- through five-star rated license. Please note that quality initiatives are not part of the process to earn a star rating and are not required. If this facility chooses to participate in the recognition of quality initiatives, the completed Quality Initiatives Recognition Form, along with documentation verifying the initiatives will need to be submitted to me. Verification of the initiatives may include certificates of completion or designation, reviewing staff education and training, benefits packages outlined in the personnel procedure, posted ratios, observing options such as language immersion programs, verifying experience, and communication from an organization such as T.E.A.C.H noting the facility participates.

It was discussed that parents are responsible for documenting arrival times during sign-in. I recommended that a reminder could be posted near the classroom entrance to prompt parents to sign their child in. Staff members accepting children into the classroom are responsible for ensuring arrival times are documented if the parent forgets to do so. Item # 125 was corrected during today’s visit by documenting the child’s arrival time in the classroom. • A valid qualification letter for each employee must be maintained on file at the facility and available for review. I recommended that staff files are periodically reviewed using the Staff File Checklist to ensure that required documentation is on file.

You, Christine Gray, Center Manager, assisted me with the visit. Your facility, owned by Salisbury-Rowan Community Action Agency Incorporated, was current and active with the NC Secretary of State as viewed on the NC Secretary of State Website today. I observed your Four-Star License, NC Child Care Summary of the Law, menu, Emergency Medical Care Plan, Sanitation placard, First Aid poster, tobacco free policy signage and evacuation plans posted as required. Child to staff ratios, group size, supervision, permit restrictions, and adequate and approved space were monitored. A walk-through of the indoor and outdoor spaces was completed. I observed the children participating in free choice activities indoors and outdoors. You stated that no children currently enrolled require medications or Medical Action Plans.

A sanitation inspection was conducted on April 3, 2025, with four (4) demerits and a superior classification. A fire inspection was conducted on September 11, 2024. There has been one new staff member hired since the last visit. I monitored their file.

The process of notifying the Division changed in February 2024 and is now captured in ABCMS. Today we reviewed the ABCMS Provider Portal. You stated that adding staff members to this portal has been added to the new hire process. • To ensure that staff/child ratio worksheets are posted in the classroom, I recommend implementing a beginning of the year checklist for teachers to complete. This checklist should include a task to verify that all required postings, including the staff/child ratio, are correctly displayed and up to date. Today you corrected the violation by posting the staff/child ratio worksheet in Space 6. • Today I recommended that you thoroughly check all paperwork received by employees prior to filing documents in their folder. Ensure that all information, including the choice of healthcare professional, is listed on the Emergency Information Form. You corrected the violation by having the staff member document their choice of healthcare professional on their Emergency Information Form. Consultation: • On July 1, 2025, the North Carolina Rules Review Commission (RRC) approved the new child care rule language for the QRIS Modernization Plan, known as “Pathways to the Stars”. The Division of Child Development and Early Education is currently preparing a summary of the rules, an online training module for Moodle, and an implementation plan. I will be conducting a center administrator training/meeting on September 29, 2025, from 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm as the next step for implementing the plan to transition to the “Pathways to the Stars”. The implementation plan will allow time for administrators to learn and understand the different pathways and the changes within our system.

I reviewed with you today the information found in our system. You stated there have been no changes to your phone number, email address, mailing address, administrator, or owner. I reviewed the facilities permit with you today. This facility operates with a four-star license and is licensed for 84 children on first shift, ages 0-12 with an effective date February 21, 2020. The following restrictions are listed: first shift and meets enhanced space and ratio. Your facility, owned by Salisbury-Rowan Community Action Agency Incorporated was current and active with the NC Secretary of State as viewed on the NC Secretary of State Website today. I used the “Annual Compliance Monitoring Visit Checklist for Child Care Centers” during today’s visit. I observed your Four-Star License, NC Child Care Summary of the Law, menu, Emergency Medical Care Plan, Sanitation placard, daily schedules, activity plans, staff-child ratio worksheets, First Aid poster, tobacco free policy signage and evacuation plans posted as required. Child to staff ratios, group size, supervision, permit restrictions, and adequate and approved space were monitored. A walk-through of the indoor and outdoor spaces was completed. I observed the children participating in free choice activities indoors and outdoors, handwashing, snack, and during a parent involvement activity. There were a variety of materials available to children. Materials and furnishings were found to be developmentally appropriate. All medications and accompanying documentation were monitored. You stated your program does not provide transportation. Program records were monitored, including emergency drills, fire drills, monthly outdoor inspections, and incident logs. A sanitation inspection was conducted on September 30, 2024, with four (4) demerits and a superior classification. A fire inspection was conducted on September 11, 2024. I observed attendance records to be current as required. There has been one new staff member hired since the last visit. I monitored their file and a portion of existing staff files during today’s visit. There are 21 children enrolled. I monitored a portion of the children’s records. The following violation was observed during today’s visit. Violation Number Comment Rule 1874 The Prevention of Shaken Baby Syndrome and Abusive Head Trauma policy was not reviewed with new staff prior to providing care with children and/or a signed acknowledgement with all the required information was not maintained in the staff person's file. A staff member hired on 11/18/2024 did not have a signed acknowledgement of the Prevention of Shaken Baby Syndrome and Abusive Head Trauma policy maintained in their file. .0608(d)(1-4) Technical Assistance: • The Prevention of Shaken Baby Syndrome and Abusive Head Trauma policy acknowledgement statement should be signed and dated by staff prior to caring for children ages zero to five. The signed policy should include the individual’s name, the date the center’s policy was given and explained to the individual, the individual’s signature, and the date the individual signed the acknowledgment. To ensure this is completed on the first day of employment, I suggest having all new staff members review and sign the policy during orientation and place it in their staff file immediately. Consultation: • All staff members must complete CPR and First Aid training within 90 days of employment and renew certifications every two years. I suggest making a visual reminder with upcoming dates to ensure certification is obtained by the due dates. • Per child care rule 10A NCAC 09 .1102(f), centers that are licensed to care for infants, the child care administrator must complete ITS-SIDS training within 90 days of employment and every three years thereafter. • As stated in G.S. 110-90.2 & .2703(r) child care operators are to notify the Division of any new child care providers working who were hired or moved into the child care facility within five business days. The process of notifying the Division has changed and is now captured in ABCMS. This change has been in effect since February 2024. Effective immediately, you will need to obtain a Business NCID and complete Provider Portal training in Moodle at https://www.dcdee.moodle.nc.gov/course/view.php?id=119. No action is needed on your part if you have completed the reference training and are currently using the ABCMS Provider Portal to update information regarding new hires or residents. Once the training has been completed and access has been given, you must verify your facility roster to ensure current staff are noted on the roster. This information should be updated in ABCMS in an ongoing basis as staff members are hired and when their employment is terminated. This satisfies the requirement to notify the Division of new child care providers working who were hired or moved into the child care facility within five business days. The compliance of this rule will be monitored during your next visit. Please note, the hard copy of the Change of Information form will no longer be needed or accepted. Should you need assistance please contact the Criminal Background Check Unit at (919) 814-8401 and someone will assist you. • Child care rule 10A NCAC 09 .0304 which requires a child care center operator to: schedule and obtain a fire inspection within 12 months of the center's previous fire inspection, to notify the local fire inspector when it is time for the center's annual fire inspection, and to submit the original of the approved annual fire inspection report to the Division within one week of the inspection visit on the form provided by the Division. • Stay updated with changes and new rule updates by visiting the DCDEE website at https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov/.
